^«     TO  THE  TRAYELLmG  PUBLIC. 


The  utility  of  this  book  is  manifold.  It  is  presented  to  the  Public,  owing  to 
the  great  importance  of  the  Line  of  Bailroada  crossing  the  Continent  from 
different  points  of  our  extended  country,  connecting  with  Steamship  Lines 
crossing  the  Atlantic  and  Pacific  Ocean.  The  completion  of  the  X7nion  Pacl^c 
and  Central  Paolflc  Railroads,  in  May,  1869,  forming  a  Through  Line  of 
Travel  from  Ocean  to  Ocean,  was  a  bright  event,  tjiat  will  be  forever  remem- 
bered by  the  American  public.  Since  that  period  the  Kansas  Pacific  Railroad, 
extending  westward  to  Denver,  Colorado,  has  been  finished,  and  the  Northern 
Pacific  Railroad  has  been  commenced  and  finished  to  the  Red  Biver  of  the 
North, — when  completed,  to  extend  from  the  head  of  Lake  Superior  to  Puget 
Sound  and  Portland,  Oregon, — thus  afibrdlng  an  International  Route  from 
Ocean  to  Ocean,  via  the  Great  Lakes  and  St.  Lawrence  River. 

The  Eastern  cities  that  are  mostly  interested  at  this  time  in  these  great  works, 
and  from  whence  connecting  Railroads  diverge,  are  Baltimore,  Washington, 
Philadelphia,  New  York,  Boston,  and  Portland;  wliile  other  cities  in  the 
Valley  of  the  MisaisBippi  and  on  the  shores  of  the  Great  Lakes,  are  alike 
benefited. 

The  Baltimore  &  Ohio  Railroad,  Pennsylvania  Central  Railroad,  Erie  Rail- 
way of  New  York,  the  Boston  &  Albany  and  New  York  Central  Railroads, 
and  the  Grand  Trunk  Railway  of  Canada,  and  their  connections,  form  the  first 
great  links  in  this  Continental  Line  of  Travel,  extending  from  the  Atlantic  to 
Chicago  and  St.  Louis,  and  from  thence,  crossing  the  Rocky  Mountains  to  the 
Pacific  Ocean. 

The  numerous  Lnras  of  Steamers  running  from  American  ports  to  Europe, 
on  the  East,  and  Asia,  on  the  West,  are  all  duly  noticed,  together  with  a  Descrip- 
tion of  the  principal  Sea-ports  on  the  Route  Around  the  Worid.  These  speedy 
modes  of  communication,  in  connection  with  Ocean  Lines  of  Telegraph, 
form  the  niost  important  era  in  the  Worid's  history,  and  will,  no  doubt,  tend  to 
civilize  and  benefit  the  whole  human  family.

COMMENCEMENT  OF  RAILROADS 


IN   TUB 


UNITED   STATES. 


It  is  now  fortv  vcar»  since  the  com- 
pletion of  the  'fii-st  Uailroad  in  the 
United  States,  several  bep^K  pr-'jcctcd 
as  earlv  as  18i8.  To  the  late  IIesuy 
S  Tanner,  author  of  a  "Description 
of  Canals  and  Railroads  in  the  United 
Stales,"  published  in  1840,  we  are  in- 
debted for  most  of  the  following  relia- 
ble information. 

The  Baltimobr  and  Ohio  Rail- 
BOAI),  the  lirst  important  line  under- 
taken, was  incoriK)rated  on  the  28th 
of  Februarv,  1827,  by  the  Legislature 
of  Marvluiid.  The  work  was  com- 
menced" on  the  4th  of  .July,  1828,  and 
fourteen  milesoiienedfortratlicin  18:W; 
in  1831  it  was  extended  to  Frederick, 
62  miles,  and  in  1832,  to  the  Point  of 
Rocks,  68  miles,  being  soon  thereafter 
opened  to  Harper's  Ferry,  81  miles 
from  Baltimore.  Until  1831  it  was 
operated  by  horse  power. 

The  Pennsylvania  Railroad, 
authorized  bv  Act  of  the  Legislature, 
passed  Marcii,  182S,  was  commenced 
as  a  State  work.  It  was  divided  into 
two  divisions,  and  known  as  Phila- 
delphia and  Columbia  Railroad, 
81  miles  in  length,  and  the  Alle- 
ghany PoRTAfiE  Railroad,  36  miles, 
running  from  Hollidaysburg  to  .lohufc- 
town,  across  the  Alleghany  Mountains. 
The  latter  road  had  several  inclined 
plains,  with  stationary  engines  to  facili- 
tate the  transportation  of  freight  and 
passengers,  connecting  at  each  termini 
with  the  Pennsylvania  Oaiud  running 


lietween  Philndelpliia  and  Pittshnrgh. 
In  September,  1832,  twenty  miles  of 
single  track  was  riadv  for  use  on  the 
Eastern  Division,  an<l  in  April,  1834, 
the  entire  route,  from  Philatlelphia  to 
Columbia,  was  ojiencd  for  travel. 
Total  cost  of  the  Philadelphia  and 
Columbia  Railroad,  $3,754,577. 

The  Alleghany  Portage  Rail- 
road, which  was  considered  a  great 
achievement  in  engineering,  attained 
an  altituteof  2,490  ft.  above  the  Atlantic 
Ocean.  It  had  one  tunnel  900  feet  in 
leunth.  This  important  work  was 
commenced  early  in  1831,  and  finished 
ill  March,  1834. 

The  Mohawk  and  ITudron,  nm- 
ing  from  Albany  to  Schenectady,  17 
miles,  was  commenced  in  August,  1830, 
and  completed  in  18.32,  being  the  first 
railroad  finished  to  completion  in  the 
United  States;  at  each  termini  w.os  an 
inclined  plane  with  stationary  engines. 

The  Saratoga  and  Schenectady 
Railroad  was  commenced  in  1831, 
and  opened  July,  1832.  Length,  21 
miles. 

The  South  Carolina  Railroad 
was  commenced  in  1830,  and  62  miles 
of  it  finished  in  1832.  In  1834  it  was 
completed  to  Hamburg,  opposite  Au- 
gust.a,  Georgia,  136  miles;  at  the  time 
of  its  completion  it  was  the  longest 
railroad  in  tlie  world,  being  the  first 
upon  which  a  locomotive  engine  of 
American  manufacture  was  used.

completion  of  this  great  work,  afford- 
ing a  through  line  of  Railroad  from 
Boston  to  Buffalo,  was  an  event  of 
great  magnitude  in  the  Railway  his-

The  Philadelphia  and  Reading 
Railroad,  extending  from  Philadel- 
phia to  the  Scliuylkill  coal  fields,  wiis 
opened  in  1842,  lieing  soon  followed 
by  other  Railroads  throughout  the 
coal  region  of  Pennsylvania. 

At  this  time  (1842)  there  was  about 
4,000  miles  of  Railroad  finished  in 
the  United  States;  after  that  period 
the  growth  gradually  increased  for  the 


next  eight  years ;  in  1850  there  being 
nearly  10,000  miles  of  Railroad  com- 
pleted. In  1800  there  was  al)OUt  20, 
000  miles  completed.  For  four  years 
the  increase  was  small,  owing  to  the 
breaking  out  of  the  rebellion,  but  since 
its  close,  in  1805,  the  increase  has  been 
very  rapid,  there  being  in  1872  up-

RAILWAY  SYSTEM  OF  THE  UNITED  STATES-18I2. 


•IE 


Tui:  Great  Trunk  Railways  of 
the  United  Stales  and  Canada,  with  tlieir 
Connections,  wliich  are  made  subser- 
vient to  foreign  commerce,  Mowing  from 
Europe  on  tlie  East  and  Asia  on  tlie 
West,  diverge  from  the  principal  At- 
lantic ports  lying  witliin  the  Tempe- 
rate Zone,  and  extend  acroas  the  Con- 
tinent to  the  Pacific  Ocean.  Otiier 
important  Lines  of  Railway  run  iirom 
North  to  South,  forming  altogetlier  a 
complete  net- work  system  of  Railroads, 
extending  from  the  Atlantic  to  the 
Pacific  Ocean. 

Baltimore,  Norfolk,  Philadelphia, 
New  York,  Boston  and  Portland,  are 
the  principal  sea-ports  from  wliicii  the 
above  Great  Lines  of  commerce  diverge 
and  run  Westward.  East  of  t!ie  Alle- 
ghany Mountains  there  are  now  fin- 
ished fifc  principal  Trunk  Railways, 
connecting  with  other  Lines  of  Rail- 
road running  to  the  Mississippi  River 
and  the  Great  Lakes. 

TiiK  Bnltimoro  and  Ohio 
Bnllroacl,  witii  its  Branches,  forms 
the  first  (treat  Line  that  is  finishetl— 
ruiuiing  from  tide-waters  at  Baltimore 
and  Washington  to  tlie  Oliio  River— 
there  connecting  with  Railroads  tra- 
versing the  Vallev  of  the  Mississippi 
and  the  basin  of  the  Great  I-akes.  In 
additi(ft  to  its  termimis  at  Wheeling, 
West  \^rginia,  379  miles  west  of  Bal- 
timore, it  has  a  Branch  running  to 
Parkersburg,  West  Virginia,  and  an- 
other from'  Cumberland,  Marj^land  to 
Pittsburgh,  Pennsylvania,  running  over 
the  Alleghany  Mountains, — thus  mak- 
ing tliree  important  connections  with 
western  Railroad  Lines  running  to  the 


Mississippi  River,  there  connecting 
with  the  Great  Lines  of  Travel  running 
through  Kansas  and  Nebraska  to  the 
Pacific  Ocean. 

The  PoiiiiM.vIvaiila  Cen- 
tral Railritiul  torms  the  second 
Great  Line  crossing  the  Alleghany 
Mountains,  uniting  at  Pittsburgh,  351 
miles  from  Phil!ideiphia,with  ihePiltK- 
burgh,  Fori  Wayne  and  Chieuno  Railroad, 
PiUslmrffh,  Cincinnati  <Sc  Si.  Louis  B.  R., 
and  all  the  Trunk  Lines  of  Railways  in 
the  Valley  of  the  Mississippi,  and  those 
extending  westward  across  the  Conti- 
nent. This  lioad  connects  with  the 
Northern  Central  RiiUmty,  starting  from 
Baltimore,  and  with  the  "Allentown 
Line,"  leaving  New  York  by  the  Cen- 
tral New  Jersey  Railroad, — both  uniting 
at  Ilarrisbnrg,  Pelinsylvania, — thus 
forming  three  (ireat  Lines  of  Travel 
from  thesca-board,  in  addition  to  itsctm- 
nection  with  the  Pltiladcljiliia  and  Eric 
Jtailroad, — which  forms,  m  part,  an  im- 
portant Line  of  Travel  from  Philadel- 
phia and  New  York  to  Erie,  Pennsyl- 
vania,— there  connecting  witli  Steamers 
running  to  the  dili(;reiit  ports  on  Luke 
Erie  and  the  Upper  Lakes. 

The  Erie  Railway,  with  its 
Branches,  is  tho  third  Trunk  Line, 
forming  a  Through  Route  of  Travel 
from  the  sea-board  to  the  basin  of  tho 
Great  Lakes  and  the  Valley  of  the  Mis- 
sissippi. It  starts  from  Jersey  City,  op-

westward,  to  Kansas  City  and  the  State 
Line,  284  miles,  connecting  with  the 
Kansas  Pacific  Railroad;  then  north- 
ward to  Leavenworth  and  Atchison, 
Kansas,  4(1  miles  further.  It  is  an  old, 
well  built,  and  well  managed  Railroad, 
offering  both  safety  and  comfort  to  the 
travellin,n;  public.  Being  on  a  medium 
parallel  of  latitude,  (the  8<.)th  south  of  the 
Missouri  River,)  and  forming  a  prin- 
cipal connecting  link  between  the  East 
and  extreme  West,  great  numbers  are 
constantly  [)assing  over  it,  and  the 
amount  of  passenger  business  done  by 
thiH  Road  is  much  greater  than  by  any 
other  Railway  of  the  same  length  west 
of  the  Mississippi.

great  value  is  sent  out  from  the  same 
market  to  supply  the  wants  of  two  or 
three  millions  of  people. 

"  It  may  be  interesting  to  the  trav- 
eller to  know  that  the  average  speed  on 
most  of  the  Railroads  of  Missouri  does 
not  exceed  twenty  miles  to  the  honr. 
If  he  is  travelling  on  an  express  or 
mail  train  west  of  the  Mississippi,  he 
can  approximate  very  closely  to  the 
time  by  dividing  the  distance  in  miles 
by  twenty;  the  result  will  show  the 
hours  very  nearly."

Atlanticand  Pacific  Rail- 
road,  (formerly  South  Pacific.)— 
This  important  Road,  running  from 
St.  Louis  across  the  Slate  of  MisHoun, 
was  commenced  several  years  since, 
but  suflbred  from  a  multitude  of  delays 
during  its  early  organization.  It  is 
now  completed  to  the  Missouri  State 
Line,  SJiO  miles  from  St.  Louis,  an<'. 
has  become  one  of  the  great  thorough- 
fares of  the  Southwest.  The  Line  of 
the  Boad  is  for  the  most  part,  through 
a  beautiful  section  of  country,  with  a 
fruitful  soil,  and  climate  as  genial  as 
that  of  Italy.  ,  , 

The  Companv  have  a  charter  for  a 
Eoadfroin  Spri  ngfield.  Mo.  to  San  Fran- 
cisco, crossing  the  Continent  near  the 
35th  parallel,  which  is  considered  by 
many  as  the  shortest  and  most  desira- 
ble as  to  grade,  running  through  a  fer- 
tile country  rich  in  agricultural  or 
mineral  productions  its  entire  length, 
and  free  from  all  climatic  obstruc- 
tions—hence in  many  important  re- 
spects the  most  desirable  of  any  Route 
built  or  projected.  It  will  run  through 
the  Indian  Territory,  New  Mexico, 
Arizona  and  California  to  the  Pacific 
Coast. 

A  Branch  Road  is  being  built  to  ex- 
tend from  Pierce  City,  Mo.  to  Van 
Buren,  Arkansas;  a  distance  of  125 

miles.  ...         ,    r

Kansas  Pacific  Railroad. 

—Copied  fi  mi  "Tracy's  Gviue  to 
THE  Gkeat  West."  This  important 
Road.  (J38  miles  in  length,  traverses  the 
entire  State  of  Kansas  from  east  to  west, 
a  distance  of  420  miles,  and  pushes  on 
into  Colorado,  until  it  reaches  Etenver, 
and  there  assuming  the  name  o{  Denver 
Pacific,  goes  on  a  hundred  and  six 
miles  to  Chevenne,  Wyoming,  con- 
necting with  the  Union  Pacific  Ra^U 
road,  thus  forming  a  Through  Line  of 
Travel  from  Missouri  and  Kansas  to 
Colorado,  California,  &c. 

No  other  agency  has  done  so  much 
towards  making  Kansas  what  she  w 
as  the  above  Railroad.  The  present 
business  over  the  Road  is  enormous. 
The  cattle  business  alone  is  very  great, 
and  constantly  increasing.  Kansas  is 
rapidly  becoming  the  great  source  of 
cattle  supply  for  the  east.  Along  the 
whole  Line,  towns  are  constantlyspring- 
ing  ui),  and  soon  become  thriving  seats 
of  trade.  The  Kansas  Pacific  has  put 
its  inmiense  land  grant  into  market, 
on  the  most  favourable  terms. 

Perhaps  in  the  near  future,  the  great 
Kansas  Pacific  Railway  may  be  the 
chief  thoroughfare  across  the  Conti- 
nent. Already  the  Rocky  Monntains 
are  within  its  iron  grasp,  and  should 
it  decide  to  branch  at  Kit  Carson,  and 
sweep  along  the  35th  parallel,  its  loco- 
motives will  soon  be  whistling  a  wel- 
come to  the  Pacific  Coast,— even  now, 
with  its  present  connection  by  Denver 
and  Cheyenne,  with  the  Union  I'acihc, 
a  great  share  of  the  travel  and  traffic 
across  the  Continent,  will  undoubtedly 
take  this  Route.  Passing  through  the 
beautiful  valley,  and  over  the  rich 
prairies  of  Kansas,  with  the  newly 
opened  farms  on  every  side,  that  por- 
tion of  the  trip  is  made  delightful,  and 
as  the  western  border  of  the  State  is

approached,  exciting,  by  the  vast  herdu 
of  Rutlalo  and  Aiiteloj*  thronging 
along  the  traclc.  After  leaving  Kaiisits, 
the  Railroad  passes  almost  due  west 
through  Colorado  to  Denver,  skirting 
the  edges  of  the  noted  Pine  Ridges. 
Along  its  path  through  Colorado  im- 
mense coal  fields  exists,  some  of  the 
veins  being  fourteen  feet  in  thickness. 

Kansas  City,  the  western  termi- 
nus of  the  Missouri  Pacific  and  North 
Miavmri  Railroad  from  at.  Louis,  and 
the  Hannibal  and  St.  Joseph  Railroad 
connecting  with  Chicago  and  Toledo, 
is  the  point  where  trains  are  made  up 
every  aay  for  the  long  Route  to  San 
Francisco,  via  Denver  and  Cheyenne. 
But  tlie  Kansas  Pacific  has  another 
terminus  at  Leavenworth  City,  one 
of  the  largest  and  most  prosperous 
and  beautiful  cities  in  Kanssis.  Tins 
Road  connects  with  the  Main  Line  at 
Lawrence,  another  important  station, 
where  the  Leavenworth,  Lawrence  and 
O'llceiton  Railroad  unites  with  the 
foVnier. 

"The  Kansas  Pacific  Railroad 
was  formerly  opened  to  the  travel  and 
business  of  the  country  on  the  1st  of 
September,  1 870.  The  ti  me  from  Kan- 
sas City  to  Denver  is  thirty-six  hours. 
TouriRts  and  pleasure-seekers  will  find 
this  a  prereral)le  Route,  as  they  will 
have  an  opportunity  to  see  the  rich 
and  productive  Valleys  of  the  Kansas 
and  Smoky  Hill  Rivers,  and  the  grand 
monntain  scenery  between  Denver  and 
Cheyenne."     

Running  Southward  from  Denver, 
the  Denver  and  Rio  Gr'.nde  Raii-- 
WAY  is  being  built  to  connect  this  sys- 
tem of  Roads  with  the  arable  and  gra- 
zing Valleys  of  Southern  Colorado,  and 
the  great  mineral  deposits  of  the  tribu- 
taries of  the  .\rkansas,  the  Pecos,  and 


the  Rio  Oraivle.  This  11<)m(1.  at  a  ili-'- 
tanceof  80  miles  fiuui  Ijtiivei,  reaches, 
at  the  foot  of  Pikes  Peak,  the  cele- 
brated Soda  Springs  of  the  "  Boiling 
River,"  which  are  already  largely  re- 
sorted to  for  their  medicinal  virtues. 
Here  the  mineral  and  grazing  dis- 
tricts of  the  South  Park  have  their 
outlet. 

Passing  southward,  130  miles  from 
Denver,  it  touciies  the  town  of  Pueblo 
with  1.500  inhabitants,  and  then  Cation 
City  with  its  rich  coal  mines;  thence 
into  the  Rio  Grande  Valley  through 
the  vast  possessions  of  the  United 
States  Freehold  Land  and  Emigration 
Company,  which  are  being  settled  by 
General  Burnside  and  friends,  and 
near  the  rich  Maxwell  Land  Co.'s 
property, — one  gold  mine  of  which 
IS  netting  $120,000  per  year  to  ite  pro- 
prietors. 

Passing  through  Santa  F^  with  some 
6,000  people,  and  Albu(juerque  with 
abont  4,000  inhabitants,  it  will  be  ex- 
tended through  the  line  of  towns  along 
the  Rio  Grande,  between  rich  silver, 
gold  ind  cop[)er  districts  to  the  Mexi- 
can ne,  and  the  celebrated  silver  dis- 
tricus  of  Chihuahua.

101 


Branches  reacliing  every  part  of  our 
extended  country. 

The  construction  of  the  Eoad  was 
commenced  in  December,  18G3;  but 
no  considerable  amount  of  work  was 
done  till  the  commencement  of  1865, 
owing  to  the  diiliculties  that  arose  in 
the  location  of  the  Line.  In  1865  over 
100  miles  were  graded  and  bridged, 
and  rails  laid  upon  40  miles.  In  1866, 
265  miles  of  Koad  were  completed  ;  in 
1867,  245  miles;  in  1868,  350  miles. 
The  Koad  was  completed  to  <i  junction 
with  the  Central  Pacific  Railroad  of 
California  on  the  10th  of  May,  18C9, 
which  event  was  duly  celebrated  by 
tlie  united  Companies  at  Promontory, 
Utah.  The  last  tie  was  made  of  lau- 
rel wood,  finely  inlaid  with  gold  and 
silver,  while  the  spikes  were  composed 
of  precious  metals  and  iron. 

The  Route  for  the  eastern  portion  of 
the  Line,  starting  from  Omaha,  is  up 
the  Valley  of  the  Platte,  which  has  a 
course  nearly  due  east  from  the  base 
of  the  Rocky  Mountains.  Till  these 
are  reached, "this  .'alley  presents,  pro- 
bably, the  most  favorable  Line  ever 
adopted  for  such  a  work  for  an  e(]ual 
distance.  It  is  not  only  nearly  straight, 
but  its  slope  is  very  nearly  uniform 
towards  the  Missouri  River,  at  the 
rate  of  ubout  10  feet  to  the  mile.  The 
soil  on  the  greater  part  of  the  Line 
forms  an  admirable  road  bed,  while 
but  few  bridges  are  required  until  the 
North  Platte  is  reached. 

The  base  of  the  mountains  is  as- 
sumed to  be  at  Cheyenne,  Wyoming 
Territory,  516  miles  from  the  Missouri 
River.  This  point  is  elevated  0,040 
feet  above  the  sea,  and  5,074  feet  above 
Omaha.  From  Cheyenne  to  the  sum- 
mit of  the  mountains  at  Sherman, 
which  is  elevated  8,242  feet  above  the 
8ea,  the  distance  is  32  miles.    The 


grades  for  reaching  this  summit  do 
not  exceed  80  feet  to  the  mile.  The 
elevation  of  the  va.st  plain  from  which 
the  Rocky  Mountains  rice  is  so  great 
that  these  summits,  when  they  are 
reached,  present  no  obstacles  so  formi- 
dable as  those  offered  by  the  AUcghanv 
ranges  to  several  Lines  of  Railroads 
which  cross  them  before  descending 
into  the  Valley  of  the  Mississippi. 

After  crossing  the  Eastern  Crest  of 
the  mountains,  the  Line  traverses  an 
elevated  plateau  for  about  400  miles 
to  the  Western  Crest  of  the  mountains, 
which  forms  the  eastern  rim  of  the 
Salt  Lake  Basin,  and  which  has  an 
elevation  of  7,500  feet  above  the  sea. 
Upon  this  elevated  table  is,  a  succes- 
sion of  extensive  plains,  which  present 
great  facilities  for  the  construction  of 
the  Road.  From  Ogden,  westward, 
runs  the  Central  Pacijie  Railroad. 

St.  Paul  nnd  Slonx  Ciij 

Railroad. — This  Road  rtms  south- 
west from  St.  Paul,  through  the  Min- 
nesota Valley  to  Mankato,  and  Sioux 
City  on  the  MisKotiri  River,  a  distance 
of  276  miles,  where  it  connects  with 
the  Sioxix  Cily  and  Colvmbus  Branch 
of  the  Uniou  Pacific  Railroad,  now 
being  constructed.  When  finished,  this 
Line  of  Road  in  coniiection  with  the 
Lake  Superior  and  MiiKiKiii}ypi  Railroad, 
will  form  a  Railroad  Route  100  miles 
shorter  to  Duluth,  on  Lake  Superior, 
than  to  Chicago,  on  Lake  Miehi^n. 
This  is  one  of  the  most  important  Lines 
of  Railroad*  that  crosses  the  fertile 
State  of  Minnesota  on  account  of  its 
relations  with  the  Union  Pacific  Rail- 
road and  Lake  Superior.  Shinments 
can  be  made,  via  Lake,  River  and  Canal 
transportation,  bv  this  Route,  to  Canada 
and  all  the  northern  sea-ports  of  the 
United  States.

St.  Panl  and  Pflclflc  Rail- 
road, coiifolidiited  witli  tlie  ^oln•^- 
ERN  Pacific  Railroad,  November 
25,  1870,  consists  of  two  divisioHB,— 
the  Main  Line,  or  First  Division  ex- 
tends from  St.  Piiiil  to  Breckinridge, 
Minnesota,  21t)  miles,  with  the  right 
to  extend  the  Line  from  Hreckinridce, 
on  the  Hed  Kiver  of  the  North,  to  the 
boniidarv  line  between  the  United 
States  ai"i<l  lirilisli  America. 

The  8econ<l  Division  extends  from 
St.  Pan!  to  Watab,  Minnesota,  a  dis- 
tance of  80  miles,  and  will  extend 
northwesterly  on  the  west  side  of  the 
Mississippi  Kiver,  connecting  with  the 
Main  Line  of  the  Northern  Pacitic 
Kiiilroad  west  of  Crow  Wing,  and  ex- 
tend on  to  the  British  border  at  Pem- 
bina, on  the  Red  River,  to  the  49th 
parallel  of  latitade,— thus  «ecuring  the 
carrving  trade  of  British  America. 

The  purchased  Lines  have  liberal 
land  grants  through  the  richeot  parts 
of  Minnesota,  which  accrue  to  the 
Northern  Pacific  Railroad  Company, 
and  the  completion  of  all  the  Lines 
will  give  the  Northern  Pacific  Com- 
pany nearly  nine  hundred  niiles  of 
Road  in  tlio  State. 

WoHhorn  Pacific  Rail- 
road.—The  Act  of  Congress  dona- 
ting lands  for  this  Road,  prescribes  that 
it  shall  be  laid  north  of  the  45th  par- 
allel of  north  latitude.  Its  termini 
are  at  Dii.uth,  Minnesota,  at  the 
head  of  Lake  Superior,  and  a  point, 
not  yet  designated,  on  Pnget  Sound, 
with'  a  Branch  Road  terminating  at 
Portland,  Oregon.  The  charter,  as 
amended,  authorize.'^  tlie  Company  to 
construct  a  Bnineli  Road,  starting  from 
"some  convenient  point"  on  the  Trunk 
Line,  across  the  Rocky  Mountains,  to 
Portland,  and  a  Branch  from  Portland, 


northward,  to  the  terminus  on  Puget 
Sound.  These  two  Branch  Roads  are 
given  (by  amended  charter)  the  same 
proportionate  land  grant  as  the  Main 
Line,  namclv,  2r>,t50()  acres,  jier  lineal 
mile  of  Road,  through  the  Icrritories,

then  down  the  Snake  and  Columbia 
Rivers  to  Portland,  Oregon. 

Kstimated    length  of   Main    Line, 
connecting  the  navigation  of  the  Great 
Lakes  with  the  commerce  of  the  Pa-

«j:r<y«nHi'o»nore«,  almost  entirely  fertile, 
with  a  salubrious  climate,  being  capa- 
ble of  sustaining  a  dense  population. 
The  Winter  months  are  comparatively 
mild,  wit!,  but  a  small   fall  of  snow,

Bpr  the  purchase  of  the  St.  Panl  and 
Pacific  Railroad,  the  Northern  Pacific 
Kailruad  controls  the  entire  Railroad 
traffic  in  the  "New  Northwest,"  and 
connects  with  the  Railways  of  Wipcon-

gable waters  of  the  Mississippi  River 
and  Lake  Superior. 

The  work  waa  bef?un  in  July,  x6~0. 
on  the  eastern  portion  of  the  Line,  ana

stockholders  of  some  six  milliuus  of 


the  Company's  bonds,  to  build  and 
equip  tlie  Ruad  from  Lake  Superior 
across  Minnesota  to  the  Red  River  of 
the  North,  252  miles.  This  important 
Division  of  the  road  is  now  completed 
and  running  to  MooRiiiOAD,  situated  on 
tlie  east  bank  of  the  Red  River,  from 
whence  Stages  and  Steamers  convey  pas-

Manitoba.  Tiie  Dakota  Division,  200 
miles  in  length,  extending  westward  to 
the  Missouri  River  will  be  completed 
in  July,  1872.  The  work  on  the  Western 
Division,  commencing  at  Puget  Sound, 
is  in  rapid  progress  of  construction. 
The  road  is  also  being  built  between  the

AROUND  THE  WORLD 

IN  NINETY  DAYS,  BY  RAIL  AND  STEAM, 

via  THB  AMEKICAK  OVERLAKD  ROUTE.  JAPAH.  CHIMA.  IMDU.  EOYPT.  and 
tbe  OOMTWEMT  OF  EUROPE. 


The  Rreat  improvements  made  in 
the  modes  anil  convenience  of  travel 
during  the  pa^t  few  years  have  mute 
surpriHcd  every  one,  and  not  least  those 
who  have   been    accnstomed    to    pas- 
senger transportation  lioth  by  hind  and 
sea.    A  traveller  or  business  man  who, 
a  few  years  ago,  went  to  San  Francisco, 
.lapan,  China  or  India,  or  made  the 
circuit  of  the  glolie,  arranged  his  af- 
fairs with  the  exjHK-tation  that  at  least 
a  var  or  two  of  his  life  was  required 
to'malce  the  journey  by  land  and  water. 
To-day  he  can  start  from  New  York 
or  LoNDOX,  transact  important  busi- 
ness, and  enjoy  the  pleasures  of  travel, 
returning  to  his  home,  if  desired,  with- 
in the  period  of  three  months ;  during 
which   time  he  is  in  communication 
with  the  chief  centres  of  businebo  by 
telegraph  and  steam  post-routes. 

The  opening  of  the  Unwn  Ptieifie 
and  Central  Pacific  Railways  in  May, 
1869,— bringing  the  Atlantic  sea-ports 
of  Boston,  New  York,  Philadelphia 
and  Baltimore  within  less  than  a 
week's  comfortable  journey  of  San 
Francisco,  on  the  Pacific  coast,  3,.S00 
miles  distant,— was  an  event  that  has 
changed  the  Route  of  Travel  Around 
the  World.  . 

Arrangements  have  been  made  in 
London  and  New  York  with  the  vari- 
ous Railway  and  Steamship  Compa- 
nies interested,  for  a  complete  system 


.^        _ 


of  CocPON  ExrtinaioN  Tickkts,  fur- 
nished with  which,  ii  few  jKHinds  in 
ca«ii  to  cover  incidental  ex|M"nses,  the 
traveller  can  make  the  circuit  of  the 
World,  not  only  with  ciiso  and  com- 
fort, with  the  privilege  of  breaking 
and  renewing  tlie  journey  when  and 
where  he  pleases,  but  also  with  a 
measure  of  protection  and  attention 
from  agents  and  officials,  rn  rouk,  not 
usually  accorded  to  ordinary  paasen- 
gcrs  on  "Ocean  Ilighways." 

On  the  completiim  of  the  Northern 
Pacific  llailroad,  extenuing  from  Lake 
Superior    to    Puget    Sound,    another 
Through  Route  will  be  afl(>rded   the 
travelling  public.     This  great  line  of 
travel  will  run  through  the  States  and 
Territories  of  Minnesota,  Dakota,  Mon- 
tana, Idaho,  Oregon  and  Washington, 
—a  total  distance  of  alwut  1,800  miles. 
It  will  form  a  favorite  Route  Across 
the    Continent,   and   lessen   the   time 
Around  the  World.    Then  the  great 
artery  of  commerce  will  flow  through 
the  Gulf  and  River  St.  Lawrence,  via 
the   Great   Lakes   to  Puget  Sound- 
crossing  the  North  Pacific  Ocean  and 
Sea  of  Okhotsk,  then  enter  the  moirth 
of  the  Anioor  River,  running  into  the 
interior    of    Asia,— connecting    with 
Overland  Routes  of  Travel  to  China 
and  Russia,  and  to  European  cities  by 
Railroads,  finished  or  in  progress  of 
construction.

AKOUND   THE   WORLD. 


ij 


The  City  of  New  York,  the 

metropolis  of  ilie  United  States,  tlie 
greatest  commercial  emporium  in  the 
New  World,  and  the  third  in  point  of 
wealth  and  population  in  the  Cities  of 
ChristAiidom,  is  situated  on  the  B')uth- 
ern  extremity  of  Manhattan  Island,  at 
the  Junction  of  the  Hudson  and  East 
liivers,  eighteen  miles  from  the  Atlan- 
tic Ocean,  in  Lat.  40°  4'y  N.,  Long. 
74°  00'  W.  Mean  Annual  Temp.  51° 
Fahr.  Population  about  \000,000. 
The  Bay  and  Harbor  of  New  York 
are  its  greatest  aitraction,  in  a  com- 
mercial point  of  view.  Here  Ocean 
Bteamers  and  coastwise  vessels  can  ap- 
proach, with  safety,  at  all  times  of  the 
j'ear.  From  this  favored  port  a  fleet 
of  about  150  Steamships,  owned  by 
twelve  difl(3rent  companies,  sail  to  and 
from  European  ports,  aftbrding  every 
desired  accommodation  for  passengers 
and  freight. 


There  are  now  four  Great  Trunk 
Lines  of  Uailroad,  running  from  New 
York  to  the  Valley  of  the  Mississippi 
and  the  Great  h&keA,  connecting  with 
the  Trans-Continental  Lines— forming 
a  speedy  mode  of  conveyance  Across 
the  Continent  of  America  to  the  shores 
of  the  Facific  Ocean  These  facilities, 
combined,  attiirds  New  York  advan- 
tages, which  no  oilier  city  on  the  globe 
possesses,  as  a  commercial  emporium. 

Those  intending  a  journey  Around 
the  World,  starting  from  the  Atlantic 
sea-board,  would  naturally  proceed 
westward,  via  Chicago  or  St.  Louis, 
and  from  thence  to  San  Francisco, — 
returning  via  the  East  Indies  and  the 
Suez  Canal,  to  Prtris  or  London, — 
thence  from  Liverpool  to  New  York, 
or  some  other  American  port.  This 
extended  trip  can  be  made  with  com- 
fort in  ninety  days,  at  an  expense  of 
about  $1,200,  iu  gold. 


NEW  YORK  TO  CHICAGO,  ST.  LOtJIS,  &c. 


There  is  a  choice  of  three  Lines  of 
Railway  from  New  York  to  Chicago, 
direct, — the  distance  being  about  900 
miles;  viz.,  Pennsylvania  Certral,  the 
Erie  iliiiliray,  and  the  Hudson  River  & 
N<M  York  Central.  Usual  through  time, 
80  hours. 

Chicago,  which  is  the  largest 
city  of  Illinois,  and  an  important  mart 
of  commerce,  is  favorably  situated  on 
the  scuth-wcstern  shore  of  Lake  Michi- 
gan, from  whence  Bailroads  diverge 
to  every  point  of  the  compass;  while 
the  Lake  navigation  affords  a  cheap 
transit  to  the  Eastern  markets.  Lat. 
41°  62'  N.,  Long.  81°  47'  W.  Mean 
Annual  Temp.  47°  Fahr.  Population, 
_  i-.bout  30O,00Q.  The  great  fire  of  Octo- 
"  ber  9,  1871,  will  long  be  remembered 


as  the  greatest  calamity  that  has  oc- 
curred in  modern  times.  While  the 
business  of  the  city  has  been  deranged, 
the  Railroads  are  all  in  good  order, 
prepaied  to  accommodate  pasisengers 
and  freight-traffic.  The  principal  Ho- 
tels are  the  Sherman  House,  the  Trc- 
mont  House,  and  the  Briggi  House, 
— new  houses  under  old  names-^the 
former  buildings  having  been  de- 
stroyed. 

St.  iJOlliS,  280  miles  south  of 
Chicago,  and  1,088  mileh  west  of  New 
York,  can  be  reached  via  the  Peunsyl- 
vnnia  Uailroad,  or  the  Baltimore  & 
Ohio  Railroad.  From  thence  passen- 
gers for  San  Francisco  can  be  conveyed 
by  the  Kansas  Pacific  Route,  or  by  the 
North  Missouri  Railroad,  to  Omaha, 


RLD.

and  then  over  the  Union  Pacific  Bail- 
road. 

From  Chicago  to  Omaha,  496 
miles,  the  trains  run  over  three  par- 
allel lines,— the  Chicago  <fe  North- 
western  Bailroad,  Cliieago,  Bock  Island 
&  Pacific  Bailroad,  and  the  Cliicago, 
Buiiington  &  Missouri  Rix-er  P^ill- 
road,  terminating  at  Council  Blufls, 
Iowa.  At  Omaha,  on  the  Missoiiri 
River,  commences  the  Union  Pacific 
Bailroad.  Its  extreme  length,  in  con- 
nection with  the  Central  Pacific,  being 
1,913  miles;  or,  from  New  York  to 
San  Francisco,  '2,310  miles,  by  most 
di'-ect  route. 

Omaha,  Nebraska,  is  favorably 
situated  on  the  west  bank  of  the  Mis- 
souri River,  and  is  a  place  of  growing 
importance.  Here  has  recently  been 
erected  a  magnificent  Bailroad  Bridge, 
extending  across  the  stream  to  CouU- 
ciii  Bluffs,  Iowa,  which  forms  the 
present  terminus  of  the  Union  Pacific 
Bailroad. 

Proceeding  westward  from  Omaha 
the  Railroad  extends  along  the  north 
bank  of  the  Platte  River  to  near  the 
western  bounds  of  the  State  of  Ne- 
braska-there being  a  gradual  rise  of 
land  until  the  base  of  the  Rocky 
Mountains  is  reached. 

Cheyenne,  Wyoming,  516  miles 
west  of  Omaha  and  106  miles  north 
of  Dknver,  Colorado,  is  the  iirst 
station  of  importance,  being  elevated 
6,000  feet  above  the  ocean.  A  Rail- 
road runs  to  Denver,  connecting  with 
the  Kansas  Pacific  Bailway,  forming, 
in  part,  a  Through  Route  to  St.  Louis, 
910  miles  distant.  The  traveller  by 
either  of  the  above  routes,  if  crossing 
the  Continent,  can  witness  the  mag- 
nificent scenery  of  the  Rocky  Moun- 
tains, the  Sierra  Nevada  Range,  and

At  OoDEN,  Utah,  passengers  can 
stop  and  visit  the  valley  of  the  Great 
Salt  Lake,  taking  the  Branch  Railroad, 
38  miler  in  length. 

Salt  liake  City,  the  capital  of 

Utah,  where  is  congregated  the  Mor- 
mon settlement,  is  well  worthy  of  a 
visit.  The  chief  object  of  interest  is 
the  Tabernacle,  capable  of  containing 
8,000  people.  Lat.  40°  46'  N.,  I^ng.

rise  from  its  briny  surface,  some  of 
them  to  a  great  altitude.  The  view 
from  the  eastern  slope  of  the  Promon- 
tory Mountains  is  trulij  sublime,  with 
the  Wahsatch  Mountains  in  the  dis-

called  Manzanilla,  in  a  low  and  un- 
healthy position.  It  is  the  terminus 
of  the  Atkxwo  Railroad,  tn  which  it 
owes  iis  existence.  The  Railway  Sta- 
tion is  at  the  extremity  of  the  island ; 
it  first  passes  through  a  dense  tropical 
forest,  crosses  t>-  Jhagres  River  upon 
a  handsome  iron  bridge  at  Barbacoas, 
and,  continuing  through  iniiguificent 
scenery,  cuts  at  last  through  huge 
granite  cliffs,  beyond  which  the  beauti- 
ful Valley  of  Paraiso  lies,  and  both 
the  Ocean  and  the  City  of  Panama 
come  in  view.  This  road,  50  miles  in

built  of  wood,  but  m^nv  are  of  stone, 
and  the  largest  ones  have  ptUiot  or

There  is  a  tine  Cathedral,  built  about 
two  centuries  ago.  The  roadstead  is 
one  of  the  finest  in  the  world.  There 
are  a  number  of  islands  a  short  dis- 
tance from  the  main-land,  which  afford 
anchorage  for  ships  of  any  burthen.

Mean  Annual  Temp.  79°  Pahr.  Popu- 
lation 1,000,000.  The  Eurojieans  and 
Panee  merchant«  have  their  places  of 
business  in  the  fort  or  New  Town,  and 
their  private  residences  some  miles 
away;  the  native  population,  both 
Hindoo  and  Mahommedan,  live  in  the 
city,  about  a  mile  from  the  fort.  There 
are  numerous  public  buildings,  and 
many  moeaues  and  temples. 

The  harW  of  Bombay  is  excellent 
and  commodious.  Tlie  city  has  an 
extensive  trade  with  China,  importing 
from  thence  tea,  silk,  sugar,  treasure, 
Ac.  The  principal  exports  are  raw 
cotton,  opium,  pearls,  sandal-wood,  Ac. 
The  exports  and  imports  from  Great 
Britai  n  are  numerous  and  of  ^reat  value. 

The  Steamers  of  the  Peninsula  and 
Oriental  Steam  Navigation  Ck)mpany, 
the  British  India  Steam  Navigation 
Company,  and  Bombay  and  Bengal 
Navigation  Company's  Steamers,  all 
run  from  Bombay  to  different  ports  in 
the  Arabian  Sea,  Ked  Sea,  and  the 
Indian  Ocean,  thence  into  the  Pacific 
Ocean, — forming  in  part  the  great 
Trans-Pacific  Itoute  of  Travel  Around

57'  E.  Mean  Annual  Temp.  82°  Fahr. 
Population,  30,000.  Its  position  has 
made  it  a  point  of  primary  importance 
in  the  direct '  trade  between  Europe 
and  Asia.  It  has  some  trade  with 
Mocha  and  the  jiorts  of  the  Red  Sea. 
Aden  dcjiends  entirely  for  its  supplies 
on  the  interior,  as  it  is  utterly  barren 


in  its  vicinity.  The  fortifications  con- 
structed by  the  i-^nglish  are  of  great 
strength,  rendering  thcni   almost  im- 

gregiiable.  The  passage  through  the 
traits  of  Babelmandeb  and  the  Bed 
Sea  is  usually  found  to  be  excessively 
hot,  as  well  as  the  surrounding  shores 
of  Arabia  and  Abyssinia. 

Suez,  a  sea-port  of  Egypt,  76  miles 
east  of  Cairo,  with  which  it.  is  con-

It  is  the  entrepAt  of  the  I'^glish  and 
French  Steamers  running  in  the  Red 
Sea,  and  serving  the  ports  in  India, 
China,  Japan,  and  Australia. 

The  Suez  Canal.— The  direct 
line  from  Tinali  to  Sue*  is  only  70 
miles;  but  th«  actual  distance  which 
the  canal  traverses  from  Port  Said  to 
where  it  debouches  into  the  Ked  Sea 
is  100  miles.  About  60  miles  of  the 
canal's  course  lies  through  the  Lakes 
Menzaleh,  Ballah,  Timsah,  and  the 
Bitter  Lakes.  Its  width  at  the  water 
line  is  328  feet  for  nearly  80  miles,

CalrOf  or  as  it  is  often    called 
Grand  Cairo,  the  chief  city  of  modern 
Egypt,  is  situated  on  the  right  or  east 
baiik  of  the  Nile,  12  miles  above  the 
commencement  of  the  delta,  and  130 
miles  from  Alexandria,  in  Lat.  30   2 
N     LoiiR.  31°  15'  E.    Mean  Annual 
Temp.  72-'  Fahr.     Population,  about 
300,000.    The  main  body  of  the  city 
is  distant  about  two  miles  from  the 
river,  and  is  situated  at  the  entrance 
of  that  immense  plain,  composed  ol 
alluvial    soil,  whicli    here    suddenly 
spreads  out  frot.  the  Nile,  and  com- 
prehends the  whole  of  lower  Egypt. 
The  public  buildings,  pyramids,  and 
objects   of  interest   surroundmg    the 
city  are  numerous.    The  inhabitants 
of  Cairo  are  composed  of  a  great  many 
diflerent  races;  the  most  numerous  are 
the  Arabs,  who  constitute  ihe  great 
body  of  the  people.    The  diseases  of 
Cairo  are  common  to  all  Lower  Egypt. 
The  most  unhealthy  season  is  the  latter 
part  of  April  and  the  whole  of  May, 
when  the  Kamasia  winds  blow;  but 
the  plague  b  the  most  fatal  to  the 
natives;    it  generally  rages  once    in 
every  four  or  five  years,  and  contiimes 
only  during  the  winter  season.    The 
Europeans,  however,  are  seldom  at- 
tacked.   The  city  is  well  worthy  of  a 
visit,  and  usually  healthy  in  winter. 

Port  Sald«  a  sea-port  of  Lower 
Egypt,  in  the  Mediterranean,  at  the 
entrance  of  the  Suez  Canal,  30  miles 
8.  S.  E.  of  Diimietta,  in  Lat.  32°  19' 
N.,  Long.  34°  22'  E.  Mean  Annual 
Temp.  70°  Fahr.  Population,  15,000. 
This  port  had  only  a  few  huU  ten 
years  ago,  and  is  now  a  thriving  town. 
It  is  regularly  laid  out  in  squares  and 
struts,  and  there  are  churches,  mosques 
and  hospitals,  the  ensemble  being  that 
of  a  lively  sea-port. 


The  Steamers  of  the  Austrian  Lloyd's 
run  between  Port  Said  and  Constanti- 
nople. Those  of  the  Messageries  Im- 
periales  leave  Marseilles  for  Port  Said 
every  ten  days.  British  Steamers  also 
run  to  this  port. 

Alexandria,  a  sea-port  and  fa- 
mous city  of  Egypt,  distant  about  130 
miles  by  rail  from  Cairo,  in  Lat.  31 
11'  N.,  Long.  29°  5'  E.    Mean  An- 
nual Temp.  70°   Fahr.     Population, 
200,000.    The  new  city  of  Alexandria 
is  in  every  way  uneastem  in  its  ap- 
pearance, the  European  element  having 
nearly  completely   submerged    every 
remnant  of  ancient  and  local  tradiUon. 
Were  it  not  lor  Pompey's  Pillar  and 
Cleopatra's  Needle,   still   standing— 
monuments  of  earlier  ages— the  travel- 
ler would  imagine  himself  landed  m 
some   French  or  Italian  city.     The 
great  square  is  surrounded  by  hand- 
some  houses,    the   residences  of  the 
European  consular  bodies  and  mer- 
cantile community.    The  native  por- 
tion of  the  city  is,  like  that  of  all 
eastern  cities,  dirty  and  dingy. 

Steamers  of  all  maritime  nations 
run  to  and  from  Alexandria,  passing 
through  the  Mediterranean  to  different 
ports.  Distance  to  Marseilles,  about 
2,000  miles;  to  Southampton,  England, 
3,000  miles. 

BrindisI,  is  an  important  sea- 
port on  the  south-east  coast  of  Italy, 
on  the  Eailwav  from  Tram  to  I^  e,

the  same  Lat.,  40°  40'  N.,  on  the  east 
coast,  or  heel,  of  Italy,  as  Naples  does 
opposite  to  it  on  the  west  coast,  or

OCEAN  STEAM  NAVIGi^TlON  BETWEEN  UVERPOOL,  QUEBEC  ft  MONTREAL 


The  Canadian  Steam  Naviga- 
tion Company,  chartered  in  May, 
1853,  was  the  first  Company  to  com- 
mence running  a  regular  line  of  Steam- 
ers from  Great  Britain  to  Quebec  and 
Montreal.  ' 

Although  the  regular  trips  were  to 
commence  in  1854,  the  "  Genova,''  of 
350  tons,  waa  dispatched  from  Liver- 
pool, and  arrived  in  May  1853.  She 
was  succeeded  by  the  "  Lady  E^linUm," 
(336  tons,)  which  made  two  trips. 

In  1854  tho  Company  put  the  Steam- 
ers Oiurify,  Sarah  Satuh,  OUavm,  and 
Cleopatra  on  the  route,  and  five  trips 
were  made  to  Montreal.  Fourteen 
more  trios  were  made  durinp  the  sea- 
son, but  the  vessels  came  only  to  Quebec. 

In  1865,  the  British  Government 
being  very  much  in  need  of  vessels  for 
the  transport  of  troops  and  ammuni- 
tions of  war  to  the  Crimea,  these  Steam- 
ers were,  with  the  consent  of  the  Cana- 
dian Government,  chartered  for  that 
purpose,  and  no  Steamers  arrived. 

Thereupon  the  well-known  firm  of 
Messrs.  Edraonstone,  Allan  &  Co.,  (now 
Messrs.  H.  &  A.  Allan,  of  Montreal, 
Messrs.  Allan,  Rae  &  Co.,  of  Quebec, 
with  branch  firms  in  Liverpool,  Gbs- 
glow  and  London,)  tendered  for  and 
obtained  the  Government  (jontract  for 
caiTying  the  mails,  at  first  fortnightly 
and  afterwards  weekly.  . 

These  Steamers  commenced  their 
regular  trips  in  1856;  the  following 
vessels  being  placed  on  the  route: — 
the  Canadian*,  North  Amerimn,  Indian 
and  Anglo-Saxon.  They  made  thirteen 
voyages  during  (lie  season  to  Montreal 
and  Quebec.  The  same  ships  ran 
during  the  season  1857 ;  three  voyages 


being  made  to  Montreal  and  eleven  to 
Quebec.  The  Steamer  Canadian  was 
lost  on  her  first  voyage  from  Liverpool. 
In  1868,  the  Mail  Line  comprised  the 
North  American,  Anak-Sixon,  Indian, 
Nova-Seolian,  and  the  North  Briton. 
They  made  their  fortnightly  trips  with 
great  regularity. 

In  1859,  a  new  contract— still  in  exis- 
tence— was  made  with  the  Government 
by  the  Messrs.  \LiiAN,  and  the  mails 
were  carri^  weekly  between  Liverpool 
and  Montreal.  The  vessels  employed 
were  the  Anglo  Saxon,  Nortit  Britain, 
North  American,  NovaSeo'ian,  Indian*, 
and  Hungarian*.  They  made  twenty- 
eight  passages  between  the  ports  during 
the  season. 

In  this  year  the  "Anchor  Line" 
^as  organized  in  Glasgow,  and  a  line 
of  Steamers  placed  on  the  route  be- 
tween that  port  and  Montreal.  It  con- 
tinued to  run  for  six  years.  The  Uni- 
ted Kingdom  aijd  John  Bell  of  this  line 
made  monthly^trips  during  the  season. 
li>  1860  the  Mail  Line  comprised 
the  Ai  ilo-Saxon*,  Nova-Scotian,  North 
American,  North  Britain*,  Boheminn*, 
Canadian,  No.  2*,  Palesiintj  Melita, 
and  Jura*,  making  twenty-nine  voya- 
ges during  the  season.  In  1861  thtf 
Hibernian  and  Norwgian,*  were  added 
to  the  Mail  Line;  also,  the  Mebbbb. 
Allan's  started  their  "Glasgow 
Line,"  with  two  new  vessels,  the  St. 
Andrew  and  the  St.  George. 

In  18C9,  the  "London  Steamship 
Line"  consisting  of  the  Steamers,  Da- 
cia,Geopatraf,  and  Medwoy,  commenced 
running  to  Montreal.  The  Niger,  Sev- 
ern, and  Thamet  have  since  been  added' 
to  this  line.— D.  Shavit,  Agent.

PROSPECTUS  OF  THE  GREAT  WESTERN  TELEGRAPH  COMPANY  OF  ENGLAND. 


The  Great  Western  TELieaRAPH 
Company  is  announced  with  a  capital 
of  £1,350,000,  in  67,500  Bhares  of  X20 
each,  of  which  45,000  are  offered  for 
aubecription  to  the  public.    We  are 
informed  that  the  Company  has  been 
formed  to  connect    New  York   with 
England,   and   to   connect  the  West 
Indies  directly  both  with  New  York 
and  England,  without  in  either  case 
the  intervention  of  any  system  of  land 
lines.    In  fact,  the  line  will  be  laid 
from  as  convenient  a  line  as  possible 
near  the  Land's  End,  Co-nwall,  Eng- 
land, to  the  Island  of  Bermuda,  from 
which  there  will  be  branch  lines  north 
and  south  to  New  York  and  St.  Thomas 
in  the  West  Indies,  for  the  latter  of 
which  a  short  cable  will  without  diffi- 
culty give  the  shortest  route  to  Brazil, 
and  at  the  same  time  place  that  im- 
portant Empire  in  direct  communica- 
tion both  with  the  United  Stotes  and 
England.    A  working  agreement  has 
been  made  between  the  Great  Northern 
Telegraph  Company  of  Europe  and 
this  Company,  which  secures  to  the 
latter  the  traffic  from  Denmark,  Nor- 
way, Sweden,  Russia,  China  and  Japan ; 
pawing  over  the  lines  of  the  Great 


Northern   Telegraph   Company,   and 
intended  for  America;  and,  further, 
it  has  been  arranged  that  when  that 
Company  establishes  its  projected  North 
Atlantic  Line,  a  joint  purse  agreement, 
on  an  equitable  basis,  shall  be  made 
with  this  Company,  with  reference  to 
North  American    traffic,  which  will 
give    this    Company    the    important 
vantage  of  a  duplicate  between  Eng- 
land and  America.    One  recommenda- 
tion of  the  Company  to  public  support 
will   be  found  in  the  fact  that,  it  is 
intended  to  reduce  the  ""^  «ge  for  Uie 
transmission  of  ordinary  messages  be- 
tween England  and  America  to  one- 
half  the  present  rate,  or  £1  for  every 
ten  words,  and  to  adopt  a  similar  sys- 
tem for  messages  to  the  West  Indies ; 
while  the  co-operative  or  mutual  sys- 
tem is  to  be  brought  into  play,  by 
giving  a  discount  to  shareholders,  nold- 
ing  not  less  tlian  100  shares,  of  10  per 
cent,  on  all  messages  sent  b^  them.    A 
contract  has  been  entered  into  for  the 
making  and  laying  the  cables  for  £1,- 
330,000,  of  which  amount  the  contrac- 
tors or  their  connections  are  to  take  one- 
third  in  the  shares  of  the  Company .--

NORTHERN  PACIFIC  RAILROAD  PROSPECTUS. 


SEVEN-THIBT7  QOLD  LQA2T. 


Ik  is  First  MortgaM  Gold  BondB 
the  Northern  Pacific  Railroad  Com- 
pany furnishes  to  the  public  an  Invest- 
ment Security  which  combines  the 
readv  Negotiability,  the  Convenience, 
and 'the  high  Credit  of  a  first-class 
Railroad  Bond,  with  the  Solidity  and 
Safety  of  a  Real  Estate  Mortgage  on 
Land,  worth  at  least  twice  the  amount 
loaned. 

These  Bonds,  which,  after  fuU  invesli- 
galum,  we  xlrongly  recommmd  as  a  rdia- 
bk  and  unusttally  profitahle  investment, 
and  which  now  stand  among  lite  moat 
solid  andfavorite  -eeurities,  have  the 
following  leading  features :— 

1.  The  !Mue  is  limited  to  $50,000 
per  mile  of  road;  holders  are  exempt 
from  United  States  tax ;  the  Principal 
and  Interest  are  payable  in  Gold — 
the  principil  in  tiiirty  years,  and  the 
interest  (ol  the  Banking  House  of  Jay 
Cooke  &  Co.,  New  York,)  semi-annu- 
ally, first  of  January  and  July,  at  the 
rate  of  7^^  per  cent,  per  annum— 
neai-ly  8}  per  cent,  currency.  De- 
nomknations,  coupon;  $100,  $500,  and 
$1000:  Regi8tere<l;  $100,  $500,  $1, 
000,    $6,000,    and    $10,000.     Present 


selling  price,  pab  ahd  accrued  W- 

TEREST  IN  CUBBENCY. 

2.  The  bonds  are  a  First  and  Only 
Mortgage  on  the  Road,  its  Equipments 
and  Earnings,  and  also  on  a  Land 
Grant  which,  on  the  completion  of  the 
Road,  will  exceed  23,000  Acres  to 
each  mile  of  track,  or  500  acres  of 
Land  to  secure  each  $1,000  bond. 

3.  They  are  at  all  times  receivable 
at  ten  per  cent,  premium  (1.10),  in  pay- 
ment or  exchange  for  the  Companpr's 
Land  at  market  prices— a  pn>vision 
which  practically  gives  the  holder  of 
these  mortgage  oonds  the  power  of 
foreclosure  at  will. 

4.  The  proceeds  of  all  sales  of  Land 
are  required  to  be  devoted  by  the 
Trustees  of  the  bond-holders  as  a  Sink- 
ing Fund  to  the  purchase  and  can- 
cf^Tlation  of  the  "first  mortgage  bonds, 
or  temporarily  to  the  payment  of  in- 
terest thereon,  if  necessary. 

As  these  bonds  are  a  first  lien  upon 
the  Road  and  its  Traffic,  ar.d  upon  a 
Government  Grant  of  Land,  the  char- 
acter of  the  security  will  obviously 
depend  jointly  upon'  the  Eiimings  of 
the  Road  and  the  Value  of  its  lai'd. 


FAOmO  BAILBOAD  EABNINGS.

ings of  the  present  Pacific  Railroad

was  from  Local  Business, 
5  per  cent,  or  n«^arly  Nine 
r  Millions,  were  net  over 
xpensas.  An  equiil  trafiic 
them  Pacific  Road  (and  it 
'    fail   to   secure   a   much 


gpreater)  wiil  pay  a  yearly  nH  dmdend 
of  more  Ikan  9  j  ver  cent,  oh  iU  toItU  coH. 
This  •'stablished  success  of  the  first 
Pacific  Road  places  beyond  question 
the  prosperity  and  profitableness  of  the 
Nottbern  Pacific  Line,  with  its  great 


and  obrions  advantages  in  Distance, 
Uradientti,  Exemption  from  8now,  Cost 
of  Construction,  Climate,  and  Tributary 
Fertile  Country.  Each  Road  ha.<i  an 
ample  field  of  its  own — the  two  i>ting 
60()  miles  apart. 


THE  VALUE  OF  LAND  OKANTS. 


The  average  price  at  whicli  the 
twenty-five  leading  Land-Grant  Bail- 
roads  have  tlius  far  sold  their  lands  is 
$7.04  per  acre— the  highest  average 
of  any  grant  being  $13.98,  and  the 
lowest  $3.07.  With  few  exceptions, 
the  average  telling  price  hag  gleaaily  in- 
cretused  from  year  to  year.  The  lands 
of  the  Northern  Pacific  Road  are 
admitted,  by  all  who  have  seen  them, 
to  be  better  and  more  salable  than 
those  of  most  other  grants ;  but,  sold 
at  tlie  general  average  of  $7.04  per 
acre,  they  will  yield  more  than  $161, 
000  per  mile — more  than  three  times 
the  possible  cost  of  (he  Boad  and  the 


issue  of  bonds ;  or,  at  the  lowest  aver- 
age of  any  grant  ($3.07),  they  will 
Sroduce  more  than  $70,000  per  mile, 
ome  Two  Million  Acres  of  these 
lands,  lying  in  the  most  fertile  and 
attractive  part  of  Minnesota,  are  now 
ready  for  occupancy,  and  are  being 
rapidly  taken  up  by  an  excellent  class 
of  settlers. 

These  facts  regarding  Paeifie  Rail- 
road earnings,  and  the  market  value 
of  Railroad  Lands,  as  shown  by  actual 
sales  to  set'.lers,  strikingly  exhibit  the 
three-fold  Krjurity  of  Northern  Pacific 
Railroad  Bonds. 


EZOHANamO  U.  8.  5-20*8. 


^  In  view  of  the  ability  and  fixed 
policy  of  the  Government  to  call  in 
all  its  5-20's  and  substitute  a  low  in- 
terest bond,  many  holders  of  6-20'8 
are  exchanging  them  for  Northern 
Pacific's,  thus  aidding  to  their  princi- 
pal the  present  premium  on  Govern- 
ment Bonds,  and  increasing  their  year- 


Iv  interest  income  nearly  one-third. 
All  marketable  stocks  and  bonds  will 
be  received  (by  express  or  otherwise) 
at  current  prices,  in  exciiange  for 
Northern  Pacific  Seven-Thirties,  with- 
out expense  to  the  investor.  Pam- 
phlets and  full  information  will  ba
